TNRTB Classic: Thinking About Cloning
A few days ago I proposed a theological framework to help Christians think about synthetic biology and the creation of life in the lab. It is also important that believers know how to think about advances in other areas of biotechnology. One controversial area of particular concern is cloning. Below is a link to a … Read more

A Theology for Synthetic Biology, Part 2 (of 2)
With the creation of artificial life in the lab on the horizon, many people—Christians in particular—are asking if synthetic biology is a safe and ethical discipline. Most importantly, they ask, “Are scientists playing God?” It has become apparent to me that the best way to address these questions is by establishing a theology for synthetic … Read more

TNRTB Classic: Cell Blueprints
A few days ago I asserted that the creation of artificial life in the laboratory demonstrates that the genesis of life requires the work of intelligent agency. Success in synthetic biology, whether from the bottom-up or top-down, requires the work of highly trained scientists who rely on several hundred years of scientific knowledge. In the … Read more

A Theology for Synthetic Biology, Part 1 (of 2)
It’s just a matter of time before synthetic biologists create artificial life in the lab. This endeavor causes many Christians concern and raises a number of important philosophical and theological questions. It has become apparent to me that there is a need for a theology for synthetic biology. Part 1 of this series provides an … Read more

TNRTB Classic: Big Bang Cosmology
On Monday I discussed a recent discovery that boosts confidence in the big bang theory. Numerous tests of increasingly detailed aspects continue to affirm the model and, thus, give scientists a good reason for assurance in the validity of big bang cosmology. This previous TNRTB discusses confidence-boosting discoveries from the past 20 years and shows … Read more

Gas Clouds Found Sans Metals
Four minutes after the big bang, hydrogen and helium constituted the only elements in the universe (except for minute amounts of lithium). No heavier elements—which astronomers refer to as “metals”—existed until the first stars formed a few hundred million years later. The initially fruitless search for gas clouds that reflect this lack of metals cast … Read more

Podcast Highlight: Busy as a Beaver
If you were asked to name an animal that has greatly impacted the economic growth of the North American nations, would beavers come to mind? If not, they definitely should. Thanks to ground-penetrating radar readings from satellites, scientists have discovered that beaver dams—once abundant throughout North America—were instrumental in the subterranean sediment buildups that comprise this continent. In … Read more

Podcast Highlight: The Elephant in the Room
Does the elephant’s sixth “toe”represent an example of common descent or common design? Recent extensive research, using modern technologies, weighs in on a centuries-long debate over the origin and purpose of the elephant’s sixth toe. Fossil records indicate that the toe first appeared in elephant anatomy 40 million years ago when elephantine species began to … Read more

TNRTB Classic: More Standard Candles
Earlier this week I discussed the newly discovered advantages of using active galactic nuclei as standard candles for improving precision cosmology. In the past, other standard candles have helped astronomers explore remote regions of the cosmos from the safety of planet Earth. Check out these previous TNRTB posts for details on the brightness of the … Read more

Active Galactic Nuclei: A New Standard Candle
A team of four astronomers has discovered an accurate luminosity distance-measuring tool using active galactic nuclei (AGNs). This tool extends precision cosmology into the first five billion years of cosmic history. For the first time astronomers will be able to definitively test alternate gravity theory models and determine whether or not dark energy behaves differently … Read more
